Sonia should have asked for Sheila Dixit’s resignation before meeting the victim

19 December 2012

Press
Release

The
Socialist Party expressed deep concern for the plight of the victim, a para
medical student, gang-raped in the moving bus two days ago. The party wishes her
a speedy recovery and healthy future. The activists of the Socialist Party
understand that the parents/family members of the victim are passing through a
nightmare beyond imagination. We prey that they may face this crisis with
patience and courage. The Socialist Party in its meeting today decided to make
sincere efforts and extend all possible help to the victim in seeking justice
for her. In this regard, the party approached Justice Rajindar Sachar who has
reciprocated humbly and promised to look into the judicial process of the case
personally. He showed heartfelt concern for the victim and her family and
condemned the dismissive and insensitive attitude of the Congress leaders
including the P.M., Sonia Gandhi and Sheila Dixit.

In
the opinion of the Socialist Party Sonia Gandhi has rubbed salt on the wound of
the victim and the thousands of insecure women in the capital by merely reaching
the hospital. If she were really concerned, she should have asked for the
resignation of the Delhi C.M. Sheila Dixit in the first place. The gruesome
crime is the result of absolute incompetence and insensitivity of the Delhi C.M.
Delhi has become a city of rapes, murders and loot under her leadership, not to
speak of the several allegations of corruption against her. But Sonia Gandhi
always protects and promotes her as she is a member of her courtrie. The regret
expressed by the P.M. on this heartrending incident is a farce. The security of
the citizens is not in his worry, even remotely. His first and last concern is
to implement the neo-imperialist capitalist agenda. By implementing this agenda
he has thrown the Indian society in the gorge of a sub-culture in which women,
children and old people are most vulnerable victims.

The
Socialist Party demands immediate resignation of the Delhi C.M. It also demands
a speedy and effective action in the case and strong punishment to the culprits.

The
workers of the Socialist Party will observe one-day fast at Rajghat on 21
December and will submit a memorandum to the President demanding justice to the
victim. All concerned citizen are invited to the fast beginning at 10 am.
